Thus begins an unusual account of life in Berlin written in the early twentieth century from an Anglophone perspective. Married couple Alix and James Strachey exchanged frequent letters during Alix’s stay in Berlin from 1924 to 1925, providing future readers with a lively, amusing and original account of psychoanalysis in the making, of 1920s Berli...
At the beginning of her stay in Berlin, Alix Strachey did not venture very far from her Grunewald ‘Pension’. Like her, most Anglophone visitors stayed in the more affluent residential western parts of Berlin, in Charlottenburg, Wilmersdorf or Grunewald. Forays to the East or into working-class areas such as Christopher Isherwood’s to Kreuzberg were...
Both Alix and James Strachey were obviously much interested in German culture and the German language. Both partners mixed English with German phrases, indicating their level of proficiency, and highlighting their role as translators of Freud’s works. James for example speculated whether it would not be nicer to spend the ‘Firedays’ at Easter ‘in t...
In keeping with her musical interests, Alix Strachey’s visits to concerts and to radio cafés were frequent, and a constant topic in her letters. Alix took a lot of time trying to find a published programme for James which stated the correct times and radio stations for him so that he would be able to listen to the transmission at the same time as s...
The balls were also occasions which Alix Strachey used to observe others, engage in conversation, and reflect on German people, politics and habits. Alix Strachey’s comments on national or geographic differences between the English and the Germans are quite acerbic. Like many other diarists and travellers with an anglophone background, she was at f...

This may have been due to homesickness, but was perhaps not due only to that. Possibly our image of wild Berlin is exaggerated or, because it is so he...

James Beaumont Strachey (/ ˈ s t r eɪ tʃ i /; 26 September 1887, London – 25 April 1967, High Wycombe) was a British psychoanalyst, and, with his wife Alix, a translator of Sigmund Freud into English.
Alix Strachey early on favoured an androgynous look which would make Virginia Woolf call Alix and her close friend Dora Carrington the Bloomsbury ‘cropheads’ (Caine b 2). A striking photograph by Barbara Ker-Seymer (1930s) shows Alix in half profile, in a leather jacket and sporting very short hair.
